South African actor Nhlanhla Kunene has landed a new role on the popular SABC1 soapie Skeem Saam.
Kunene is set to make his first appearance as Amandla Dubazane on Monday, 20 April 2026.
According to the channel, Dubazane is a well-dressed man who carries himself with confidence and exudes success, but he is not what he appears to be.
With his quiet confidence, control, and charm, Dubazane looks like he belongs in boardrooms. However, as the story unfolds, viewers will see that his intentions are both serious and dangerous.
Speaking about his character, Kunene said: “The character of Amandla is very controlled and sure of himself. He’s not loud or over the top, but his presence is always felt. There’s a quiet intensity about him that keeps you watching, and I really enjoyed bringing those layers to life.”
Meanwhile, Skeem Saam’s publicity manager, Yvonne Siphuka, said Kunene’s new character will keep viewers gripped with suspense.
“Amandla is the kind of character who changes the temperature of every scene he walks into. Viewers should expect tension, suspense, and a storyline that will keep them on edge,” she said.
